Hi again. Just wondering - I could have posted what I'm going to say on any number of current threads (the "70s SF TV Music" one, the "Unreleased Scores Wishlist" one etc), but this seems as good a place as any.
Forgive me if this has all been explained before, but what are the LEGAL reasons (if any) behind the lack of CD releases of things like COLUMBO? I know that Mr LaLaLand responded on another thread that KOLCHAK (music by Gil Mellé and Jerry Fielding) is a fan favourite which people keep requesting. I know that NIGHT GALLERY is another, with all those great scores by Mellé, Oliver Nelson, Billy Goldenberg etc. And if the story is that some studio "doesn't want" (?) those scores released, then how did the "themes" for KOLCHAK, NIGHT GALLERY, THE 6 MILLION DOLLAR MAN, THE BIONIC WOMAN etc etc etc all turn up on Volume 5 of "Television's Greatest Hits"?
Thanks in advance!

yeah Billy Goldenberg's scores from season one are some of my favorite television scores ever. Someone has actually posted a super rare promo lp that features his scores for Ransom For a Dead Man and some other films like Change of Habit on a blog. Its really great and the sound quality is really good as well. I would post a link but I'm not sure what the rules are regarding things like that.

That's an interesting question! I can't imagine, that the label's are't interested at all in releasing the Columbo scores. So the legal problem seems to be the most logical explanation ahy there's no such release yet.
This thread proves again, that there's a fanbase that would buy it.

You know I think Greenhouse Jungle is my favorite too, as much as I like the other composers' work. Too bad Nelson only did the one score, but his music was tracked into other episodes later which didn't have original scores so it was part of the Columbo "sound".

Yeah, Zig Zag is cool. I didn't grow up with the film like I did with Columbo, though, so it's not the same...

Because licensing one track (IF they're the originals, which I don't know that they are) is a lot different than licensing an entire score.
Furthermore, another "fan" favorite, the oft-requested and begged for Amazing Stories - three volumes of great scores by great composers on Intrada - ask them how many they're sitting on. I don't ever trust these "fan" favorites because the "fans" usually end up being a few hundred people, and that is not enough to justify the expense of doing these things.
How often have I read here the fact that there is virtually almost nothing by Billy Goldenberg available. So, based on that, I did a Billy Goldenberg - a really good Billy Goldenberg - Busting. Eventually we did sort of okay with it but it's taken a VERY long time for us and it's finally down to a fairly low number of copies. But where are all those people who needed to have some Goldenberg?

I would order a CD(s) of music from Columbo without hesitation. New Columbo episodes were an anticipated highlight of my TV watching.
